摘要:
A method to generate a final image with a medical imaging system, wherein the final image highlights suspect regions in a tissue matrix and wherein the final image is generated from a first image and from previously acquired images of the tissue matrix is provided. The method comprises: creating a 3D map of suspicion from the previously acquired medical images; generating a 2D map of suspicion by projecting all or part of the 3D map of suspicion onto a plane from a point reproducing the conditions of acquisition of the first image; and generating a final 2D image of the tissue matrix from the first image and/or from the 2D map of suspicion, wherein the final 2D image highlights suspect regions in the tissue matrix.

A derivation procedure for a three-dimensional digital mask from a series of two-dimensional masks in a radiographic device containing a source (S) of X-rays, a means of recording and a volume of interest hat contains the object to be X-rayed located between the source (S) and the means of recording consists of an extrapolation of each mask Mθ2 includes determining a last segment lfin beyond the limits of the means of recording; and working out a two-dimensional mask Mγ associated with a position Sγ of the source, for any angle γ included in the angular range θ2 to θ1 (a position close to θ2). For every parallel segment l located between segment d (or d′ respectively) and segment lfin, the procedure further includes deriving a three-dimensional mask (21) of the object for each voxel at the intersection of plane P1θ2 and the volume of interest; and projecting the three-dimensional mask onto the segment l.

For every parallel segment 1 located between segment d (or d′ respectively) and segment 1fin, the procedure further includes deriving a three-dimensional mask (21) of the object for each voxel at the intersection of plane P1θ2 and the volume of interest; and projecting the three-dimensional mask onto the segment 1.
摘要:
A housing for protecting hand held electronic devices having buttons or controls thereon from damage due to impacts or falls. The housing is made of an elastomer, preferably polyurethane, PVC, or latex, and having a shore number in the range of A10-A30 shores, which is flexible and stretchable to substantially three times its normal size. The housing has a base and four sides, wherein two of the four sides are substantially long and parallel to each other, and the other two of the four sides are substantially shorter than the long sides and parallel to each other as well. On at least one of the substantially shorter sides, there is located a transverse slot of a predetermined length for passage of signals from the electronic device to a receptor if needed. On at least one of the two long parallel sides there is located a transverse groove of predetermined length. A multiplicity of cylindrical projections are located on one side of the base and integral with the base. The projections are approximately 1 mm in length each. A substantially semi-cylindrical flange-like protection border is provided integral with the surface of the four sides. The sides further define an opening for insertion of the electronic device into the housing as well as for access to the buttons or controls. Due to the resiliency of the material, the housing can be used to encase electronic devices up to three times the original size of the housing while protecting the electronic device from damage due to impacts or falls while still allowing access to the buttons or controls located thereon.
